This Walt Disney World itinerary is designed for the three weeks following Thanksgiving.
Update 5/12/2015: Hey, you need to swap Wednesday and Thursday in this itinerary and its associated To-Do List!

If you aren’t going one of those weeks, see Other Itineraries for alternatives the rest of the year, which are published about six months ahead.

As with the other itineraries on this site, there is also a detailed page for each day of your vacation, with specific instructions for that day. Find them here:
Moreover, a detailed To-Do List covers all the steps you need to undertake–including reserving dining and booking FastPass+.
ITINERARY DESIGN GOALS
The basic itinerary was designed to meet several goals: to ensure that you
- See the best that Walt Disney World has to offer
- See the parks in the order that works best for kids (essentially Epcot first, as it is potentially the most disappointing, and the Magic Kingdom last, as it is likely to be the best loved)
- Avoid unnecessary waiting, by using FastPass+ and other tactics…
- Have as much time off, and as few early mornings, as practical
- Avoid unnecessary spending–for example, the basic itinerary does not require you to buy the “Park Hopper” option, saving you more than $200
If you can’t do the Basic Itinerary, see Other Itineraries for alternatives for both the December week and the rest of the year.

Hi Dave… I am going to WDW with my two children, ages 8 and 9 in mid-December. We will be arriving on Tuesday, 12/22 and departing on Sunday, 12/27. We are staying at the Coronado Springs. What do you suggest to make the most out of Christmas week in Disney?
Thank you,
Marty
Hi Melanie, the parks you are aimed at are great choices those days. None of my itineraries on this site comes even close to your plans, but you will find great advice in Chapter 6 of my book.
Monika, your days look great!
The best-loved Disney restaurants always book well in advance–whether or not free dining is out…
